Description
The High-Density LC UPC Uniboot to CS UPC Single Mode Fiber Patch Cable is a cutting-edge hybrid solution designed for the evolving requirements of hyperscale data centers. As data rates climb to 200G and 400G, the industry is shifting toward high-density connectors like the CS. This cable bridges the gap by featuring a space-saving LC Uniboot on one end and the ultra-compact CS connector on the other, allowing seamless interconnection between traditional LC-based equipment and the latest QSFP-DD or OSFP transceivers.
The CS connector is a Very Small Form Factor (VSFF) duplex connector that is significantly smaller than the LC duplex, specifically designed to double the density in patch panels and transceivers. Combined with the LC Uniboot design—which consolidates two fibers into a single 2.0mm round jacket—this cable significantly reduces cable congestion and improves airflow within dense server racks. The use of LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material ensures that the cable meets strict fire safety standards, making it ideal for indoor environments with high-occupancy or sensitive equipment.
Performance is driven by OS2 9/125μm single-mode fiber, which eliminates modal dispersion and enables transmission over tens of kilometers. Optimized for 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, the cable maintains an ultra-low attenuation rate and high return loss. With G.657.A1 fiber grade, it offers superior bend performance, ensuring signal stability even in the most cramped routing conditions. FiberMania’s rigorous testing protocols guarantee that every cable meets the low insertion loss requirements essential for high-speed, low-latency data transfer.

FAQ
Why use a CS connector instead of a standard LC? The CS connector is specifically designed for high-density transceivers (like QSFP-DD). Because it is much smaller than an LC, it allows manufacturers to fit more ports into the same space, effectively doubling the density of a standard line card or patch panel.
Can FiberMania provide test reports for this hybrid cable? Yes, every cable manufactured by FiberMania undergoes 100% optical testing for insertion and return loss. We can provide digital or printed test reports upon request to guarantee performance.
Is the polarity of the LC Uniboot end reversible? Our LC Uniboot connectors are designed for easy, tool-less polarity reversal in the field, allowing you to switch between A-to-B and A-to-A configurations as needed for your specific network architecture.
What is the advantage of the G.657.A1 fiber grade? G.657.A1 is a bend-insensitive single-mode fiber. In high-density environments where cables are often tightly packed or bent around corners, this fiber grade ensures that signal loss (attenuation) remains extremely low.
